"I hope foxy doesn't think he's got his toilet back",😂🤣you are youtube gold, and yes, it is amazing💖
Get some small stones and have your kids paint plant and veg names on them. This way you can keep them busy and have plant markers for your beds.
Emma, we got our very first allotment 2 weeks ago, and are currently clearing it..... we found your vlogs and have been watching them all from the beginning and we just got up to this one so far, and we're loving them 🙂
Yes dry the egg shells.. keep them in the bottom of the oven, they can dry when you do other cooking, don’t waste energy on them. Foxy will like wet eggy shells. Sticks with tennis balls on top would raise the net over the bed. I’m glad you are enjoying your plot, we need to get back to fundamentals.
Oh no! I’m not meaning to feed the bloody fox! 😂🤷🏼♀️
@@emmasallotmentdiaries 😂🤣
I always feel so very humble and amazed, nature knows what to do and exactly when to do it. It looks after itself so we can reap what we sow XXX
Definitely. It’s just magical x
excellent update Emma things are certainly moving along, great patience :)
I love the flower painting on your door!
Me to and lov ur channel. Keep doing what u are doing and enjoy. Start in ur home garden would love to see that.
bloody lovely Emma, you have done brilliantly and your soil looks very rich!
It is magical.......love your passion n joy!!🌱🌱🌱🌱❤
All looking great Emma, i agree with the mystery of nature quietly going about its business! I too have learnt to be patient and now have a system which works in terms of timings for seed sowing! Lost a lot to frost over the years! Happy gardening! 🌸🥦🌈🌼🌻🌞🐞🦋
Absolutely! It’s just the best thing ever! X
Keep up your hard work and all will come true in the end I think your doing a fantastic job, at least you’re getting out there and doing it, enjoy it and relax it’s your haven at the end of the day 👍🏿
It is amazing when everything starts growing gives u a great buzz 👍
It is, it’s just amazing x
Your soil is looking so lovely! Sorry geologist here
You want the dead insects and leaves to silt up the bottom of the pond to give the frogs somewhere to hide in the pond, would be also good to ask others that have ponds for some frog spawn
Oh right, I’ll leave them next time. Think I need more plants first before frogs or they’ll be eaten! 😂
Saw my first frog in my little plot pond...was so happy ..and my plants havnt even arrived yet!! 😁😁🐸
That's nature, Emma, it is amazing! Your hammer is taking all the sharp bits out of your eggshells. You should crush them in your hands and then sprinkle around the plants roots so that the slugs can't get to them. Don't forget to put your bottle cloches over your dahlias to protect them from the frost.
Hilarious! I totally love your style of gardening....😅😍
You could get one of the sunflowers off your chain and superglue it on top of the painting if you’re not happy. I’ve got a few plastic flowers at the front of my plot lol
Ah that’s a good plan! X
New favorite
I still get excited by things popping up in the soil, every year😁. Beer traps are amazing, even though I was using cheapest beer it still was additional cost. Now I use a yeast mixture, just as effective but cheaper, found recipe online xx
My understanding is the eggs are good for the soil even if they don’t help with the slugs so that’s a positive! Patience is a virtue so they say take care and enjoy all that you have accomplished in such a short period and the majority was created by you! Ontario Canada 🐝
Oh that’s good! Xx
TIP TOP ONCE AGAIN EMMA xx
I like The little flower on your door it is your own little touch
Thanks 😊
Nice you've got water daphnia in the pond. There good they keep the water nice and clear
Hi Emma loving your vlogs l love growing every thing just like you enjoy and thank you xxx
I'm the same every year when my seeds sprout. It's like a mini miracle. I get really excited too!
Emma, how about adding a stalk and a few leaves to the painted flower on the door?! As for the eggshells, I think the idea is to lay a complete layer of lots of broken shells around all the plants (you have to eat a lot of eggs I would think!) but the thing is the snails/slugs do not like walking over sharp edges. If there's only a few shells scattered around they can crawl round the shell pieces. Anyhoo, keep at it Emma and I look forward to your next video x
Big changes since I last saw your video good job
Hi. Just having a look at your back catalogue of videos Emma. Quick tip on the eggs. Put them on a tray and cook them in the oven for 20 mins. Let them cool, then you can scrunch them up with your hands. It's very satisfying and gives you smaller pieces. All the best. Mags
Emma, watch out for the frost forecast for Sunday and Monday night. Try and cover up your peas and pumpkins else you will lose them. Sorry to be a misery guts.😘😘
Way ahead of you! Got some fleece now in case it does get colder x
Emma, it looks like a Sheriff's Badge!!! 😂😂😂😂
Haha! X
Beer traps work very well Emma I've been using them last couple of weeks. I just got a cat eating my sunflower & blueberry bush's trying a homemade repellent not sure how it will work. Also fox's & cats mainly dig in fresh layed soil they like to use it as a litter tray as I found out the hard way
From a distance that’s cool
I pop the eggshells in the oven after cooking dinner to dry out
Great idea! X
Xerox a sketch of your plot beds (numbered or named) and this way you can note what is where and post it in the shed. With fresh copies note future plantings so your ready to put new plants in after the others are done. This way you know what you need to start sowing ahead of time.
Emma look at OYR frugal: slug control in the garden- how to get rid of slugs. He uses coffee grounds. Watch his test. In your case maybe just put it around your plant bases. Bonus: Another thing I pulled from the video is if you simple do what he did with the bag and check under it each day you’ll be able to find them and remove them. Your garden frames are probably housing them too
Hi Emma you could try making up a garlic spray (boil a whole bulb until soft mash it up then strain keep the juice make it up to a 1 ltr ) spray all edible plants this helps keep the bugs off . Do the same for NON edible plants I.e. your flowers ,with rhubarb leaves take care with this as it’s toxic so don’t spray anything you intend to eat hope this helps Sheila
Try adding rabbits and deer to what's eating at my plot! Good luck with growing!
Put the eggshells in a hot oven for 20 minutes, makes them very brittle and they break up into very small pieces which is what you want. So the next time you make black pudding and mushy peas quiche, put the eggshells in the oven at the same time.
For the creaky door : WD-40G / some graphite or shave some pencil lead and coat the hinge pins with it. It should keep the hinges from squeaking like that. At the least try some cooking spray. However, this one will collect dirt and cake up eventually.
I was told vaseline for door hinges to stop them squeaking
Emma with the flower, get red or orange and make same shape petals. Make it colourful. The flower is work in progress.
Haha! That’s a good idea but I’m worried I’d make it worse. Again! 😂
Art is never wrong, don't be hard on yourself pet. Just gently use brush strokes even like fire gently whisk the paint brush from the petals. Wipe off a good bit of paint.Test on somewhere else. I have my beds all painted different colours, from scrap paint.
Hi love your plot pieces of prickly gorse may work I’m going to try this week
Some time us gardeners let the thing we love overwhelm us at times, and focus on the shit that didn’t go to plan. And then from nowhere that bloody little seed, form nowhere pushed its way through, and bugger me it out witted the slugs and snail, and took the fox poo and used it as food to grow, I bet in a short time to come. You and your family will be picking flowers and food. It doesn’t matter if it all don’t go to plan. It’s just matters you had a go, and showed your kids how things really are in life. Oh, don’t you diet cover that flower over on the door. Your now need to wright Emma’s allotment under it.
Go on amazon they have rolls of copper tape line the edge of that plot with it and yes beer works great with old tuna cans but empty often because it smells bad the egg shells need to be pulverized to a powder in a blender
nothing wrong with the flower, just add a stalk and some leaves!
Slightly worried about making it even worse! If that’s possible 😂😂
Use diatomaceous earth for the slugs. You just sprinkle it around
Emma get a 2ltr bottle put along slit down the middle bend slits down the middle put slug pellets in side half bury the bottle in the ground birds can’t get the pellets and the pellets don’t touch the earth so organic
Take that bloody Tarmac out of the pond !!!!
See I told you it will be ok, don't fret. Nature/plants/wildlife always finds away.... Remember! Don't fight it, your never win. Work with it 😎😎
Im stuck on the beginning of your video, those drawings are really cool and you could try a kids allotment cartoon channel with them.
Sharp sand can deter snails and slugs
Wool pellets for slugs do help
I’ve heard that too! X
Have you thought about a little plaque for your shed door? Would cover up the artwork!
Good idea. X
How about making a little plaque with your plot number on it to stick on the front of your shed door to hide the flower/sun/flower/ yellow paint :)
Good idea. And I know, I don’t know what it is either 😂
Wouldn't all this hard work your doing go to better use In your own garden? Since you said it needs a a lot of work done
It’s full of rubble from an old outbuilding that was torn down. So we can’t do anything with it until the dumps open and we can get it cleared.
WD-40. Scratch the G
Dried Bran for slugs
